At this time it existed as a precinct of Bath County. In 1800 and 1893, courthouse fires destroyed most of Bladen's court records and some of the land deeds. The devastation of Bladen County's records by these fires has created a void for historians and genealogist alike. These early tax lists provide information and insight into many of the early families that would have otherwise been lost to posterity. Several of the lists give the names of sons and servants and, in some cases, they list the names of other relatives. Many of the wives are listed in free mixed blood families and a myriad of slave's names abound throughout the lists. The Bladen County records in this volume were obtained from the Thomas Davis Smith McDowell Papers. They are a part of the vast collection housed in the Southern Historical Collection at the Wilson Library on the University of North Carolina. There are 3000 items and five volumes contained in this collection alone. Old Balden County was also home to many of the ancestral families of the Lumbee Indian Tribe of North Carolina. They will be found listed variously as Whites, Mulattoes, and Mixt Bloods. Also listed are Free Persons of Color: wives and other females listed as taxables. Due to border problems with South Carolina, this volume should be of interest to North Carolina and South Carolina researchers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam L.

It covers the counties of Anson, Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Carteret, Craven, Cumberland, Currituck, Dobbs, Duplin, Edgecombe, Halifax, Hyde, Johnston, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Onslow, Orange, Pitt, and Tryon. The first part contains abstracts of petitions to North Carolina’s Governor or the Governor and the King’s Council. Resurveys of grants were to use the marked trees and natural bounds mentioned in the grant, if they could be found; otherwise, the surveyor was to follow the courses and distances mentioned in the grant. The second part covers abstracts of Land warrants with varying degrees of information about the date, warrantee, \u0026amp; land. The warrants in this book are included here so they will be more readily available to interested people. Many of these warrants aren’t dated. In other cases, the number of acres in the warrant, warrant date, number of acres in the grant, grant date, \u0026amp; person who received the money for recording the warrant [or his initials] are indicated. Unfortunately, it isn’t always clear whose name goes with the initials. The last part coverts the land caveats in 1753 and between 1767 and 1773. Caveats were petitions to the Governor and King’s Council [called the Court of Claims when they met to discuss land matters]. These petitions were made to try to stop a grant from issuing. When the Council agreed with the petition, a trial would be ordered on the land as opposed to a trial in the county courthouse. When a decision was reached, the winner would need to present a copy of the verdict to the Council so they would issue a warrant for survey and, later, a grant could issue. The “drawback” to the caveats is that they lack all the details of the case. The surviving records usually mention the plaintiff, defendant, and a brief description of the land. It is often difficult to locate county court records to determine the winner in each case, or even if a trial was held at all. A method to determine who won may be to consult the colonial grant and try to find if either party received a grant for all or part of the disputed land. As with all land grants, the grantee had to pay the surveyor’s fees and colony’s fees. Some grants may not have issued because these fees weren’t paid even though a trial was held. On some occasions, the plaintiff may have already owned the disputed land; these grants are dated prior to the caveat and may be for more or less land than the amount in the caveat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlbert Bruce Pruitt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e(1993), 2026, paper, Index, 224 pp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eISBN:  9780944992470\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e117-NC237\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Southern Historical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43526924861558,"sku":"117-NC237","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/SHP-logo-1500px_2ebc3b85-a0f5-4005-841f-87a67eddc953.png?v=1781537667"},{"product_id":"117-nc243","title":"Land Warrants and Grants of Bladen County, North Carolina, 1802-1935","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBladen County was formed in 1734 from New Hanover County and from it were created the counties of: Anson (1750), Orange (1752), Cumberland (1762), Brunswick (1764), Robeson (1787), and Columbus (1808).

The best contemporary documentary evidence for an accurate location of these settlers when the county was created is the original Land Entry Book. It has better details than that to be found in the subsequent land grants. It was customary for the settler to describe the location of his plantation on some stream or head waters of some stream, or on some mountain. Each entry is dated. There were numerous transfers of entries before the issuance of a grant. Some are referred to in the entry, but generally the entry taker would mark through the name of the original entree and insert the name of the one to whom it was transferred. Not only was the first named entered, frequently marked out, but many times erased and the next name written in its place. Many of the entries had as many as four names marked out and written in with no way of knowing whose name was the last one written.

In this book, the 4,382 abstracts of material was arranged as follows: 1) the number at the beginning is the file or shuck number. 2) name (or names) on the cover of the shuck followed by the number of acres indicated. Sometimes there are two numbers of acres because the grant and survey were not for the same number of acres. 3) abstract of the warrant including warrant number, date, entry taker’s name, person making the entry, number of acres, waterway on which the land was, and description including names of neighbors. This description should be identical to the description in the entry book. So for the missing land entries, we can determine what was in the land entry.4) number of acres surveyed, date of survey, surveyor’s name, and names of chain carriers. 5) grant number and grant date. It will be noticed that the grants are not in numerical order. 6) beginning with grants issued about 1795, we find additional receipts in most shucks. These receipts are from the state Treasurer or Comptroller and indicate the state’s portion of grant fees (or purchase money) has been paid.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlbert Bruce Pruitt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(1987), 2026, paper, index, 884 pp. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN:  9780944992814\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e117-NC242\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Historical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43536767844470,"sku":"117-NC242","price":68.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/SHP-logo-1500px_51e34113-3ae5-460a-becf-1a485a517634.png?v=1781626167"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/north-carolina-bladen-county\/census-records+ireland.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
